Product description
The Bantam Midget model is a lare scale, stunning aluminium replica of a 1930's Spindizzie model racing car.
A fabulous addition to any man den or office and a great gift for birthdays, Father's Day and anniversaries.
The 1930's saw the introduction of a collection of model cars commonly known as 'spindizzies' or 'tether cars'. They were usually hand made, fitted with a model airplane engine and raced around a wooden track, just like the full sized racers of the day. The cars raced initially on a tether (cable) anchored to a central pivot, and as speeds increased one needed to spin around to watch them – just like flying a model airplane with the same dizzying sensation – hence the nickname “Spindizzies.”
